Well, just like that, spring is here! And with the onset of springtime comes lemon-flavored-everything season, and I’m totally good with that.
I love the flavor of lemon in both sweet and savory dishes and I always keep fresh lemons in my fruit bowl. I also keep one of those cute, little, lemon-shaped bottles of lemon juice handy in my refrigerator, you know, in case of a citrus emergency.
Heck, I even like to add 2-3 slices of fresh lemon into every glass of iced tea and water that I drink, just because I enjoy the taste of it so much. In fact, most water I drink could likely be considered unsweetened lemonade!
Oh my goodness… now that I’ve brought it up, a pitcher of fresh, sweet lemonade, just sounds like heaven all of a sudden. Making a pitcher of homemade lemonade is now officially on my to-do list for next weekend!
These sweet lemon muffins with quick lemon glaze are sure to brighten up your day in more ways than one, y’all. A batch of these babies is a no-fuss, yet flavorful treat for all times of the day, and I sure hope you all enjoy them if you make some!

Ingredients
- For the muffins:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cups sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoon salted butter, melted and slightly cooled
2/3 cup buttermilk or milk
2 large eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon lemon extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- For the glaze:
1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted
1-2 tablespoons lemon juice
Directions
- Pre-heat your oven to 350°. Place paper liners in the cups of a standard muffin pan and set it aside. In a medium-size bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt together then set bowl aside. In another small bowl, combine cooled, melted butter with milk, eggs and extracts.
- Make a well in the center of your dry ingredients and using a wooden spoon, mix until a wet batter forms. (There may be a few small lumps and that’s okay, they will work themselves out as the muffins bake.)
- Fill the paper liners 2/3 of the way full with batter and place in the pre-heated oven. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Remove baking pan from oven and allow muffins to cool completely on a rack.
- Combine the sifted powdered sugar in and lemon juice in a small bowl and make the lemon glaze. Use a decorating bottle or a spoon to drizzle the glaze over the cooled muffins. Allow the glaze just a few minutes to set up.
- Serve with fresh brewed coffee or tea and enjoy!
